Yea, there are a lot of writers who have gone back to dedicated writing machines because of this. Things like the Freewrite. Also means you have to manually transfer research content so its more firm in your mind.

Very much same. I was an art kid. I painted and wrote and sang and played music, fast forward 30 years and I’m on a computer for 8ish hours at work, then another 8ish hours at home then sleep, with phone time scattered through out.

On the flip side, I’m hopeful that the large scale waste people have will finally drive more local filament recycling services.

Yup, it has a --cookies flag to either use an exported cookies file from your browser, or if using Firefox just tell it and it’ll grab it automagically.

If there are 4 people at a table, and one of them is a nazi, and the other 3 people don’t leave the table, then there are 4 nazis at the table. Complacency is complicity.

I do both. I use Obsidian to maintain lots of notes and links and such. But I also carry a fountain pen and a notebook in my pocket. I find when I write stuff down in there I tend to remember it more. I also carry an A5 notebook at work to take down work notes and track my todo’s. More productive, looks better in meetings, and I’m less likely to get distracted by notifications or the draw of apps/social-media.

Lots of times I’ll do a drawing of dimensions or an idea, then I’ll take a picture of that and throw it in Obsidian later. Also if it’s a note that I want to keep later I’ll transcribe it into my digital notes.

I just enjoy the act of writing and getting to own a pen that I won’t just lose or loan away. I’ll also pick up old notebooks sometimes and be reminded of things I wanted to do or ideas I had that got missed, and the reminder is way more tangible and impacting that being reminded by found digital notes. It comes with the tactile memories as well.

automatic response, same as when someone says “how’s it going” to a cashier, and the person responds “good”. this interaction rarely means anything other than formality. The person asking doesn’t usually want to know, and the person responding doesn’t usually want to tell

I chose engineering, and when I started I loved it, but eventually I ended up working in places I didn’t like, on jobs that made me feel dirty, but now I don’t know any other way to maintain the lifestyle I’m accustomed to.

listen, i can get a burger for free out of dumpster, but I’d rather pay for one from the menu.

yup. !ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

that is a fantastic build. and the wax lacing! It’s such a lost art, but it works so damn well! Next PC build I do I’m lacing all of my cabling.

I feel like there’s a collision of fetishes here about to start paying for your yarn habit.

huh, I always felt it was kinda dead.

Block freely and block often.

“City Morge. You stab 'em, we bag 'em.”

Agreed, although I was disappointed in the last one, but that’s because Chronicles was my favorite, and I had hoped it would spawn a Star Wars-esque space opera like series. I was super invested in the world. We still never got to see the underverse! I get what happened with three. Two didn’t do well enough to support the investment that a true sequel would require, so they tried to cater more towards the pitch black “space thriller” audience, but it just felt like they rewrote pitch black on another planet.

Just ordered an aero press today. Work coffee has gotten progressively worse, and the carafes are never cleaned. Looking forward to being able to drink coffee at work again.
